BJP MP Manoj Tiwari, during a Times Now interview, said his election rival Kanhaiya Kumar (Congress candidate) calls Army men rapists. Suggesting that Kanhaiya is terrorist Afzal Guru's supporter, Tiwari said, "I'll expose him by unearthing his JNU videos...He's not worthy of being called a human." "Some Indian Army men rape women in Kashmir," Kanhaiya had purportedly said in 2016.
